Method Detail

selectFragment

String selectFragment(String alias,
                      String columnSuffix)
Generate a list of collection index and element columns


getIndexColumnNames

String[] getIndexColumnNames()
Get the names of the collection index columns if this is an indexed collection (optional operation)


getIndexFormulas

String[] getIndexFormulas()
Get the index formulas if this is an indexed collection (optional operation)


getIndexColumnNames

String[] getIndexColumnNames(String alias)
Get the names of the collection index columns if this is an indexed collection (optional operation), aliased by the given table alias


getElementColumnNames

String[] getElementColumnNames(String alias)
Get the names of the collection element columns (or the primary key columns in the case of a one-to-many association), aliased by the given table alias


getElementColumnNames

String[] getElementColumnNames()
Get the names of the collection element columns (or the primary key columns in the case of a one-to-many association)


getSQLOrderByString

String getSQLOrderByString(String alias)
Get the order by SQL


getManyToManyOrderByString

String getManyToManyOrderByString(String alias)
Get the order-by to be applied at the target table of a many to many

Parameters:
alias - The alias for the many-to-many target table
Returns:
appropriate order-by fragment or empty string.

hasWhere

boolean hasWhere()
Does this collection role have a where clause filter?


getElementPersister

EntityPersister getElementPersister()
Get the persister of the element class, if this is a collection of entities (optional operation). Note that for a one-to-many association, the returned persister must be OuterJoinLoadable.


getFetchMode

FetchMode getFetchMode()
Should we load this collection role by outerjoining?
